Canaveral / Cocoa Beach hotel closures update

[Capt_BJ]

According to Florida Today, 10/5:

 

DoubleTree by Hilton, Cocoa Beach will remain closed "until around 1 Jan"

there was exterior damage, some a/c units were blown off, and water intrusion 'throughout the hotel'

 

Country Inn & Suites will be closed until early December - the exact date "depends on how this weather holds up."

there was water intrusion to the lobby and many rooms requiring carpeting, drywall and painting.

 

other hotels are saying they many have a handful of rooms closed due to damage but the properties are open ....

 

overall, roughly 500 of over 9000 hotel rooms are 'offline', the two closed hotels represent 298 of those.

I just phoned, no reservations until Dec 31st. I said- thanks for letting us know! I actually had gotten a confirmation email last week! Switched to the Hilton Oceanfront, hope its ok. 5 of us between 2 rooms.

The Hilton is a nice property but none of the rooms have balconies.

Well darn. I just received an e-mail today from the manager at the Cocoa Beach Doubletree which states my reservation is cancelled and the hotel will not reopen until 31 Dec 17. Came here to see if the Homewood Suites would be open since that's where I stayed last time. Looks like the Hilton it is!

Homewood is open according to the article ...

Oops! You are correct. In my quick read, I mixed up Homewood Suites with Country Inn and Suites. Either way, the Hilton was the same price as Homewood for me, so I'll just stay with Hilton. Thanks, though! :)

Has anyone heard/seen (or preferably personally observed) anything about the current condition of the Hampton Inn Cocoa Beach?
